			<div class="info">
				<p>There are many ways to get your data into DataTables, and if
					you are working with seriously large databases, you might want to
					consider using the server-side options that DataTables provides.
					With server-side processing enabled, all paging, searching,
					ordering etc actions that DataTables performs are handed off to a
					server where an SQL engine (or similar) can perform these actions
					on the large data set (after all, that's what the database engine
					is designed for!). As such, each draw of the table will result in a
					new Ajax request being made to get the required data.</p>

				<p>
					Server-side processing is enabled by setting the <a
						href="//datatables.net/reference/option/serverSide"><code
							class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">
							serverSide<span>DT</span>
						</code></a> option to
					<code>true</code>
					and providing an Ajax data source through the <a
						href="//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax"><code
							class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">
							ajax<span>DT</span>
						</code></a> option.
				</p>

				<p>The examples in this section shows server-side processing in
					use and how it can be customised to suit your needs.</p>
